The personal data we collect about you are stored in a secure environment. Your personal data are protected against unauthorized access, disclosure, use, alteration or destruction by any organization or individual.

Processed data are stored on our premises and in secure IT systems, but we sometimes store data on the servers of our trusted service providers located within the EU.

PODRAVKA will ensure that personal data are kept in a secure place (which includes reasonable administrative, technical and physical protection to prevent unauthorized use, access, disclosure, copying or alteration of personal data), accessible only to authorized persons. All authorized persons sign a confidentiality statement.

The data collected for the purposes specified in this policy will be stored only for as long as necessary to fulfil those purposes. Your personal data will not be stored in a form that allows you to be identified for longer than PODRAVKA reasonably considers necessary to achieve the purpose for which they were collected or processed. PODRAVKA will store certain personal data for the period prescribed by law or regulations binding on PODRAVKA (more under “How long will PODRAVKA retain your personal data ”).

If you have given us consent (for example, subscribed to our newsletter or selected a certain category of cookies for use), we will process your personal data until the consent is withdrawn. If you object to the processing of personal data based on legitimate interest, we will not process your personal data in the future.

In addition to the above, it is important to emphasize the following: if judicial, administrative or out-of-court proceedings have been initiated, personal data may be stored until the end of such proceedings, including the possible period for filing legal remedies.

Privacy protection is important to us, therefore we will never share your personal data with third parties except for the purposes described in this policy. We will always inform you about sharing and transfer of data.

PODRAVKA cooperates with other companies. This means that we sometimes share your personal data using secure IT systems. When we do so, the data are transferred to servers located in the EU or in a country that ensures an adequate level of protection in accordance with EU legislation.

In some cases, our partners providing services on behalf of or for PODRAVKA may process your data outside the European Union. However, the contracts we conclude with such entities oblige them to handle your data with special security measures in accordance with the regulations in force in the Member States of the European Union.

On 10 July 2023, the European Commission adopted a new adequacy decision on the basis of which personal data may be freely transferred from the European Union to companies in the USA participating in the Data Privacy Framework.

The adequacy decision is based on Article 45 of the General Data Protection Regulation and represents a mechanism ensuring secure and lawful transfer of data to third countries. Companies in the USA that wish to participate in the Data Privacy Framework must go through a self-certification process and be entered on the list of companies that have joined the Data Privacy Framework.

Also, if our contractual partner is based in the USA, we will review existing contracts and verify the security standards guaranteed by our partner in order to ensure the protection of all our data subjects in line with the latest standards approved and suggested by the competent authorities.

The purposes for which we share data with our trusted partners include, for example, marketing, maintenance of the website www.podravkagrupa.com/hr, advertising, payment processing, delivery and other services on and outside www.podravkagrupa.com/hr. These service providers are obliged, pursuant to the relevant contracts, to use the data entrusted to them only in accordance with our instructions and exclusively for the purpose we have strictly determined. We also oblige them to adequately protect your data and treat them as a business secret.

Once a year, we audit all our partners so that we know that the protection of your personal data is still at the required level and in accordance with applicable regulations.

PODRAVKA will not retain your personal data longer than the period necessary to fulfil the purpose for which the data are needed, and for no longer than 3 years, except in exceptional cases where the law prescribes a longer retention period (for example, data related to unilateral contract termination and complaints will be retained for 1 year, data related to exercising your privacy protection rights will be retained permanently, data related to prize contests will be retained for 5 years, email addresses for the purpose of sending newsletters until consent is withdrawn, while invoice data will be retained for 11 years).

You can find out more about data retention periods by contacting our Data Protection Officer.

We may use your personal data in several different ways, mainly in order to perform our legal and other obligations towards you, but sometimes also to improve your website user experience and for security reasons.

The purposes for which we use your data are described in this policy, and if your data are processed for other purposes, you will be informed before such (new) processing is carried out.

PODRAVKA would like to send you information about our products, activities and news that may be of interest to you.

On the website www.podravkagrupa.com/hr PODRAVKA, as the controller of personal data, has integrated Facebook components. Facebook is a social network.

A social network is a place for social interaction on the internet, an online community that usually allows users to communicate with each other in a virtual space. A social network serves as a platform for exchanging opinions and experiences, or for providing the internet community with personal or business-related information. Facebook allows its users to create private profiles, upload pictures and connect through friend requests.

Facebook is owned by Meta Platforms Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. If a person using Facebook lives outside the USA or Canada, the controller of personal data is Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland. Meta Platforms Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA is an independent controller.

When opening the website www.podravkagrupa.com, the data subject’s browser will display the corresponding Facebook component, which is a result of using the Facebook plugin. An overview of all Facebook plugins can be found at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/. During this technical procedure, Facebook is informed of the specific subpage visited by the data subject.

If, as a data subject, you are logged into Facebook, Facebook may at the same time detect each of your visits to the website www.podravkagrupa.com. This information is collected through the Facebook component and assigned to the data subject’s Facebook account. If the data subject clicks on any Facebook button integrated into the website www.podravkagrupa.com/hr, e.g. the “Like” button, or if the data subject posts a comment, Facebook associates this information with the data subject’s personal Facebook account and stores the personal data.

Each time the data subject is logged into Facebook and at the same time accesses the website www.podravkagrupa.com/hr, Facebook will, through the Facebook component, receive information about this. This will happen regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Facebook component or not. If the data subject does not wish this type of information transfer, this can be prevented by logging out of the Facebook account before accessing the website www.podravkagrupa.com/hr.
